Milne-Thomson has used the method of analytic continuation to solve boundary value problems of the annulus in plane elastostatics. However, his use of Cauchy integrals is incorrect, and it is shown in this note that the solution is obtained in terms of Laurent Series expansions. The solution is equivalent to that of Muskhelishvili, but is simpler to use in some applications.

A similar approach is used to solve the boundary value problem of the infinite strip, the solution being given in terms of functions of a complex variable expressed as Fourier integrals.
